Hi, Adam,

I don't want to comment on the rightness of a certain group limit, but I 
surely want to comment on the problem of migrating a working box into 
one on which no-one can log on. There should be a big message in 
UPDATING, best is ASCII-art with ANSI blinking letters... .-)

Kind regards,
k.j.
